Sometimes I "cast" the major roles in a book, and 'Olive Kitteridge' was an easy cast. She was most definitely Bea Arthur in her roles as Maude or Dorothy. A sensitive interior artfully covered by a crusty exterior. The tale is told in a series of point-of-view vignettes. This is a favorite style for me, and I must take exception to previous reviewers who complain of too many characters to keep straight. If you like point-of-view, you will find 'Olive Kitteridge' a satisfying read.
